About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Two-center, Clinical Study to Optimize the Treatment for Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA)

This study is being done to evaluate the efficacy of treatment using oral glucocorticoid, anti-fungal agent, anti-IgE mAb for patient with ABPA.

Read the detailed description

This is a study randomly treating ABPA patients with either anti-fungal agent plus OCS or anti-IgE mAb (omalizumab) plus OCS.

OCS is the basic treatment for ABPA by suppressing allergy and inflammation. Prednisone tablets is given orally 0.5mg/kg/d for 4 weeks and gradually reduced to for a total usage of 6 months. Reduction may failed if disease exacerbate.

Anti-fungal agent (mainly itraconazole) could reduce the load of fungus but its application is still controversial. The investigators use itraconazole 200mg bid for 8 months and 100mg bid for another 8 months.

Omalizumab was given 600mg q4w for at least 6 months. The investigators use Anti-fungal agent and Omalizumab as a supplement to OCS to evaluate the better treatment plan for ABPA patients.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Prednisone tabletDrug

    Basic medication for allergic airway inflammation such as asthma and ABPA, to relieve inflammation. Reduction may failed if disease exacerbate.

  • itraconazoleDrug

    Anti-fungal medication to reduce fugal load.

  • OmalizumabBiological

    Anti-IgE monoclonal antibody, used for high IgE allergic disease.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. incidence of exacerbation: the exacerbation times indicated by symptoms and clinical index

    the exacerbation times indicated by symptoms and clinical index, including commom respiratory symptoms such as wheezing, cough, expectation, dyspnea and so on. As well as new shadows in chest CT. Those situation may cause the extreme clinic visit and hospitalization, which could be measured by times or days.

    Measured: Up to 6 months after last treatment dose

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. ST.George's respiratory questionnaire

    The SGRQ is a classic respiratory questionnaire including the symptoms, activity, and impact to life. The higher score means better disease control.

    Measured: Up to 6 months after last treatment dose

  2. asthma control test questionnaire

    The ACT is a classic asthma questionnaire recommended by GINA (Global Initiative for Asthma). ACT mainly measures the symptoms. The higher score means better disease control.

    Measured: Up to 6 months after last treatment dose
